Travel Protection Plan is automatically added for all passengers unless declined on the registration form. Travel Protection premium payments may be made at any time (unless declined) beginning with initial deposit up to 105 days prior. Travel Protection can be declined up to 135 days prior to departure; however, it cannot be added after the 135-day final payment deadline. Travel Protection is not effective until the premium is paid to ETS. Travel Protection will only cover the amount paid to ETS. If an additional markup is included by the agent, the agent is responsible to cover the additional amount.
The following cancellation penalties will apply: $100 Cancellation Penalty from Day of Registration to 135 days prior to departure 104 – 90 days prior – $400 89 – 75 days prior = $600 74 – 60 days prior – 40% of total cost 59 days prior- 100% of total cost. Any airline penalties will be charged in addition to the penalties above.
ETS does not allow children younger than 13 on tour. For children aged 10 – 13 must be traveling with a private group and receive approval from the group leader. Anyone under the age of 18 must be traveling with their parent or legal guardian.
• Group Block: ETS blocks group space for most departures as soon as it becomes available (typically 11 months prior to departure). As the final payment date approaches, ETS looks at the groups that have developed and matches them to the space being held.
• Pricing: Although pricing is “Based on New York Prices”, ETS will look for the best routing for the group from the city(s) the group is coming from.
• Deviations: Passengers who choose to depart from a different city than the group, deviate from the group or travel on a pre or post tour will be on a different flight(s) from the group. For full information on deviations see Part II: Upgrades and Deviations Below.
• Late Changes: At final payment, ETS begins cutting back group space (releasing unsold space). Any changes after the final payment date (name changes, flight changes, late additions, cancellations etc.) will incur fees.
• Passports: Passport copies should be submitted online via Agents Corner prior to final payment. This helps prevent passengers from being ticketed with the wrong passport name. Name change fees will be a minimum of $200 and as high as full ticket replacement.
• Seat selection: Special seating requests can be requested but is not guaranteed and often not accommodated for group allotment. Many group contracts do not give seat assignments until 24 hours prior to departure and are at the discretion of the airline. Airlines reserve the right to switch seats up until boarding. ETS is not responsible for seat assignments and changes.
Pricing: The cost of upgrading international flights start at:
Economy Plus / Premium Economy: $2000+ o Business Class: $4000+ Costs can be much higher depending on the airline and/or routing
Procedures: Any passenger choosing to upgrade or deviate from the group:
Will not fly with the group
Will have requests answered on a first come – first served basis
(the earlier you get requests in, the better) o Must submit a passport copy before the request can be quoted o Once quoted, seats can only be held for a certain period of time (typically by 1 p.m.
the following day). Once quoted, guests must pay immediately upon accepting the terms of the upgrade or deviation. If the payment is not made within the specified time period it will have to be requoted. o Most deviations require separate transfers to and from the group hotel. ETS can
arrange these transfers ahead of time for an additional cost.
Travel Protection costs may increase as a result of upgrades or deviations. Increases
must be paid with upgrade/deviation payment.
Submitting Requests: All requests must be submitted with passport via the Request Air Upgrade link: www.etstours.com/airupgrade-request
Ground only passengers will be responsible for their own transfers. Transfers for ground only passengers booked through ETS typically run around $500. Ground only passengers should fill out the Ground only letter: http://www.etstours.com/ground-only-letter
